Move in a list (in a circle)

Hello all,
The program is great and has a lot of setting options, which I love.
In addition to these many functionalities, I wish a little feature.

If you move up or down in a file list with the keyboard and arrive at the top or bottom, then the next keystroke should jump to the other end of the file list.

Kind regards
Perspective

Hello and welcome! It's a bit unusual for a file list in my experience. I like it when it stops at the end. Do you know of another file manager that does this?

We had a thread about this here in the forum somewhere (iirc with a solution, scripted...). Can't find it atm, though :ghost:

I'm not sure why I abandoned that thread but it's easy to implement, easy to understand, and there is some demand -- so why not!

There are only two problems left to solve:
1) Where to put the setting? The configuration dialog is running out of space.
2) How to call the setting? "Wrap around list", "Cycle list position", "Circular list" ???

Notepad++ has a search option to "Wrap Around."

What about "wrap-around list" with a hyphen? That seems to be a common term for such a thing.

That works for me.
